  1. Breitling Navitimer on Ask Slashdot: What's The Most Useful 'Nerd Watch' Today? · · Score: 1

    Breitling Navitimer has a built-in slide rule!

  2. Re:Therewhile ... on World's Longest High-Speed Rail Line Opens In China · · Score: 1

    Somewhat off-topic but you could use one of several bus compaines such as Megabus which takes 2.5 hr.

  3. Marathon! on FPS Games That Need a Remake · · Score: 1

    Prequel, sequel, alternate universe... All of the above? Maybe stick the megalomaniac AI into a cyborg body for a while to learn how it feels...

  4. blatant Chevrolet copy on Google Attackers Identified as Chinese Government · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This would have been the Chery QQ which GM accused the manufacturer of copying the Chevrolet Spark/Daewoo Matiz.
    Check out
    http://paultan.org/2006/02/18/chery-qq-crash-test/
    and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daewoo_Matiz

  5. Re:So we still have... on Earth's Period of Habitability Is Nearly Over · · Score: 1

    Hmm, is your real name....James Burke? Connections?

  6. Re:Grow a pair, Microsoft! on First MS Retail Stores Will be In Scottsdale, AZ and Mission Viejo, CA · · Score: 1

    For that matter, why didn't they open a flagship store first in Manhattan??!? If they could make it there, they could make it anywhere!

  7. Re:DIY UAV - ARE YOU CRAZY? on Best Way To Build A DIY UAV? · · Score: 1

    They'd need to be networked together so you can exchange data. For example, one reading your sensors, one to control the servos, one for comms, etc, etc.

    Hell no! What'll happen after the Cylons hack in to the UAV?

  8. Re:RV? on Rugged Linux Server For Rural, Tropical Environment? · · Score: 1

    is like 1 foot above sea level, so no need to engineer this to last forever when its going to get washed into the sea every couple years by storms

    As a Florida resident, I am deeply offended....you insensitive clod!

  9. Re:I used to intake around 500 mg/day on Beware the Perils of Caffeine Withdrawal · · Score: 1

    Just look for the cartons to either side of the Tylenol. They may be labeled "Pain Relief" or somesuch. There should be some small print that says "acetaminophen" and "compare to the ingredients in Tylenol."

  10. Re:Addicted to code. on Beware the Perils of Caffeine Withdrawal · · Score: 1

    Hmm, this sounds more like how a novel writer or artist operates.... My career is nowhere near any type of coding, so I ask, do any programmers feel like they are creating some type of applied artwork?

  11. Re:Glorious Success! on North Korea Missile Launch Fails · · Score: 1

    No, I think the lauch failure was the handywork of Gary Seven and his cat.

  12. Re:Gyro Mouse? on Lenovo To Bring Wii-Inspired Input To PCs · · Score: 1

    Hey, why did it log me out?

  13. Re:Lord have mercy! on Quantum Cloaking Makes Molecules Invisible · · Score: 1

    OK, so the million-dollar question now is: can a Bird-of-Prey made out of this stuff shoot while while cloaked?

  14. Marathon on A Look At Successful Game Mods · · Score: 1

    A game that not only allowed the modder to make new levels and scenery, but to also write dialogue and a story....

  15. Have to think in Russian? on Scientists Build Mind-Reading Computer · · Score: 1

    The first military use will be in the MiG-31 Firefox, no?

    Exactly what I am looking for in my first pet dog!

  17. Past predictions? on Media Research Exec Says Music Industry Is On Its Last Legs · · Score: 1

    Was this the same researcher who said Apple was on its last legs in the late 90s?

  18. Re:In Jedi on When Did Star Wars Jump the Shark? · · Score: 1

    I like that, but I know it's not what Lucas intended. I'm just glad he didn't explore something like genetic engineering or "juicing" with midi-chlorian injections to make some sort of Super-sith.

    Star Trek beat Star Wars on that...

  19. Re:Not really mainframes on IBM & Sun Agreement Puts Pressure on HP · · Score: 1

    Wow, it's just so weird to write "IBM/Solaris". :-) DaimlerChrysler still looks a little weird in writing.
  20. Third-party toner on HP to Researchers, 'Our Printers Are Safe' · · Score: 1

    I read the HP press release, but does anyone know what testing protocols they used? If there is a difference with the toner formulations, would using a thrid-party toner put you at greater risk or remove HP's liability?

  21. M-5 on MIT Wirelessly Powers a Lightbulb · · Score: 1

    Just as long as they don't make lighbulbs that zap Redshirts who get in the way of the power transmission like that psycho AI from Star Trek http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/M-5/.

  22. Re:This is why... on Cell Phones Disable Keys for High-End Cars · · Score: 1

    You said you read only part of the manual? So there's no cable release for the trunk as a backup? That IS crap.

  23. Mechanical systems? on Cell Phones Disable Keys for High-End Cars · · Score: 1

    I always thought electronics had the potential to be MORE reliable than mechanical. But, no, I'm happy to take up space with my Selectric in the office and have a tiny Royal portable manual typewriter at home.

  24. Re:Details ? on Some Soft Drinks May Damage Your DNA · · Score: 1

    PubMed, baby. It's a powerful tool. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?DB=p ubmed

  25. Re:Iranian Revolution on Shredded Secret Police Files Being Reassembled · · Score: 1

    Anytime I see a URL with "hole" in it, i'm reluctant to click. It brings back memories of when links to goatse.cx were everywhere.
